SANTIAGO, CHILE — POLL RESULTS. Chileans are fed up with violence, period. Whether it's anti-government violence, such as bombings and power blackouts, or the military's violent reprisals doesn't matter. Eighty-two percent condemned the beating of demonstrators or the use of tear gas and water cannons to contain protests. Over 75 percent also condemned the exiling of political opponents and the use of press censorship, according to El Mercurio. The survey, carried out in June by a research body linked to the Roman Catholic Church, also showed 94 percent of those questioned in Santiago rejected bomb attacks against the military government.
